Sharepoint Impersonation Problems 1

[PhilJohnson]

Hello,

Having a problem with an installation of Sharepoint we are currently implementing.

We have IIS set to Digest Authentication and the web.config file has Impersonate set to true and the authentication mode set to Windows.

Every time any user goes to the site they are prompted for their windows login details. They enter their network username and password and that gets them access to the site.

The user is already logged onto the network with those credentials though, so why do they have to type them in again? Is there something I am missing or has anybody else got around this problem?

Hello,

Not sure if this is applicable in your case, but we have added our sites to the Local or Trusted Zone in Internet Explorer to get around the user credential prompt, but we are running NTLM as authentication method.

Cheers,
Thomas

That was exactly it, thanks.

We also found you could put it in Intranet zone if you also checked the radio button to use current username and password.

Spent a bit of time on that, would have spent more if you hadn't given us the solution!

Cheers,

Phil
